In 1988, inventor Robert Sun embarked on a journey to teach children the relationship between numbers through a game.
The result of his efforts was the 24® Game, a unique teaching tool that has the power to engage students from diverse economic and social backgrounds.
In 2002, Sun introduced the groundbreaking First In Math online math-practice program to help students acquire, reinforce and retain vital math skills.
Today, Sun leads a dedicated team of twenty whose collective experience is greater than 340 years.
